"Mr. Villanueva's family?" the doctor asked while looking at the piece of sheet he's holding. Tumayo kaagad si Manang Elvie still holding back her sobs. Lumapit naman yung doctor seeing 'us' knowing that we're up to him. "I'll be clear to you. Mr. Villanueva is now suffering from liver failure. We need to undergo an operation specifically liver transplant. Hindi na nagfu-function ng maayos ang liver niya that causes his body to breakdown." i just saw manang elvie covers her mouth based on my peripheral vision.
"But doc, we're not noticing any difficulties from him. As far as i remember, wala siyang naikwento sakin about his vulnerabilities." keith voiced out.
"Well because in his case, wala talagang signs na mararamdaman ang isang patient unless hindi ito lumala. And i think not visiting his doctor is one of it's disadvantages. Cause if he do, malaki ang chance na maagapan ito. But it's too late. Nangyari na and all we have to do is to suceed the operation. So, i'm now obliging you to find his donor as soon as possible."
Lahat kami hindi alam kung anong ire-react. Hindi nag si-sink in lahat nung sinabi ng doktor. Ano ba kasi dapat kong ireact?----- Ah!! This is too much!
"Bha, punta lang akong wash room." me, not letting my voice break. "Ah!" napasigaw ako nung higitin niya ko papalapit sakanya sabay yakap ng mahigpit. Saktong Ub-ob yung mukha ko sa dibdib niya. Then i suddenly feel his hand caressing my hair.
"Tapos ano? Iiyak ka ng mag-isa? Edi nagmukha kang tanga dun!" hindi na ako nagdalawang isip na hampasin siya. Just do so imagine our places now, seems so perfect nung bigla pang humirit. But, seriously speaking, this special guy never fails to amaze me. Kaya nga mahal ko eh!
"Nakakainis ka." hindi ko alam pero feeling ko ang init nung paligid when i felt his lips touched my forehead. And those words lifts my soul up back again. "I love you too."

*knocks* I quickly lift my face up after dahil nagbabasa ako ng magazine. The door opens and a woman in mid 40's came up. W-wait--- yes! She's the woman i saw in my dreams! With....... with....
"Hello. May i disturb my princess for a while?" she said tearing up. I just watch her walk towards me and take a sit. "Aly," he uttered as she holds my hand.
"I-i need to send you out of this country."

I tried to move kaya lang biglang kumirot yung leeg ko. I slowly open my eyes and fin'lly noticed na natulog ako ng nakapatong ulo ko sa ulo ni Keith. Naramdaman niya atang gumaan yung ulo niya kaya umayos na rin siya ng upo.
"Ow!" agad naman akong nakarecover sa stiff neck nung makita kong nakahawak na rin si Keith sa leeg niya.
"Oh. Bha, i'm sorry. Masakit ba?" me, habang sinabayan siyang himasin yung leeg niya.
"..Dito bha masakit.." sabay lead niya ng kamay ko dun sa part na masakit. I carefully put little pressure stroking his neck. Minsan na kong tinuruan ng Mommy ko sa paghilot kasi magaan daw kamay ko. Ewan ko nga din kay Mom. But still, credits to her kasi nagamit ko in situations like this.
"Wow. Magaling ka pala maghilot babe." he uttered with closed eyes na para bang fini-feel yung bawat hagod ko sa leeg nya. (Woah! The word HAGOD tho XD) "Mag shades ka lang pwede ka na dun sa mga naghihilot sa mall----- Ahh!" Yan! Sige! Asar pa! -.- "Eto naman eh, nag jojoke lang!" sabay upo nya ng maayos.
